Well done. Its a shame it had to go down this way, but the Democrats really left no alternative. I guess the system worked.

I guess any day now every state employee will be reduced to minimum wage, like the union bosses told us?

Any updates on the Wisconsin Senate? There was talk of attaching this to a non-fiscal bill so a quorum would not be needed, and I know the Senators who fled into hiding are not getting paid till they comeback...anything new on this part of the stalemate?

The base keeps getting more and more narrow over there in lefty land..pretty soon there will be nothing but splinter groups of wackos.

(Daily Caller)- Communist and socialist groups ̶ including the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, the Communist Party USA, Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party and the Democratic Socialists of America ̶ are voicing their support for the public-sector unions protesting Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s plans to curtail their collective bargaining abilities.

The communist and socialist groups have parroted many of the union talking points being used by the unions on their websites and in their publications, such as those accusing the governor of trying to break their unions. They have also compared Walker to former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak.

“Egypt, whose revolution has been a constant source of inspiration here, reflected in signs and chants–and Walker’s new nickname, Gov. Mubarak,” an article reads from the International Socialist Organization’s webzine.

The webzine also describes the unions’ protest of Walker’s plans to force a vote on curtailing public-sector unions as “class war in Wisconsin” and as an affront to “the standard of living of working people.”

“Using the deficit as a scare tactic, the right-wing corporate Republicans are on a fast track to defeat every initiative of the Obama administration, to destroy unions and public services at the federal, state and municipal level, and at the same time protect tax breaks for the richest few,” Joelle Fishman, chair of the CPUSA’s Political Action Commission, wrote in an article posted on her party’s website.
